“They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.”
King James Version (KJV)
30:7 Brayed - Like the wild asses, for hunger or thirst. Thorns - Under which they hide themselves, that they might not be discovered when they are sought out for justice.
30:10 Spit - Not literally, for they kept far from him, but figuratively, they use all manner of reproachful expressions, even to my face. Herein, also we see a type of Christ, who was thus made a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
They were children of fooles, yea children of base men: they were viler then the earth.
